the next day.
Qi Hui went to meet Wei Yong, and it was still at the place where they met last time.
"... About the patent, I also heard about it from Teacher Liu in our department later, so I realized that he had already submitted the application in advance."
With a wry smile on the corner of Qi Hui's lips, he explained.
Wei Yong tapped the table lightly with his fingers, but Qi Hui's imaginary anger was not on his face, which made him slightly relieved.
"Dean Qi doesn't need to blame himself. It's understandable for the teachers in your department to act like this." Wei Yong said lightly.
Qi Hui sneered, unable to answer the question.
"However...doing such a thing without saying hello will affect everyone's relationship after all." Wei Yong's eyes fell on Qi Hui's face, and his voice was quite soft.
Qi Hui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and even though it wasn't their problem, he still lowered his posture and nodded to Wei Yong, "Yes, Wei Gong is right, it's really hurtful to do this. "
The corners of Wei Yong's lips twitched slightly, and he took a sip of tea slowly from the teacup, "Our Dean Xue attaches great importance to the patent of this project."
Qi Hui was stunned for a moment, he naturally knew Dean Xue.
A first-level researcher has made countless contributions to the country, but he didn't expect him to pay attention to this.
Qi Hui's head was a little big, and he couldn't help scolding Liu Gan in his heart. If he had spoken out earlier, it wouldn't have made it difficult for everyone to step down.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Hui apologized again, "In this situation, I do..."
Before he could say the word powerless, he was interrupted by Wei Yong's assistant standing beside him.
"By the way, I remember that the patent certificate has not been issued, can the application be revoked?"
Assistant Wei Yong asked Qi Hui in a tone that seemed uncertain.
Qi Hui looked at the assistant, it's not that he hadn't thought about this problem before, but asking Liu Qian to cancel the application, with his attitude that day, I'm afraid it's impossible.
Not only is it impossible, but they might even run to Zhao Lian for help, making things even worse.
And once Liu Gan made a big fuss and brought it to the Education Office of Qing University, he would probably end up as the dean of the department.
Qi Hui raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, and could only say, "I'm afraid it's impossible to withdraw the application, because the school has also reported it."
Wei Yong glanced at Qi Hui, as if he had expected it, he put down the teacup in his hand, and said calmly: "It's not impossible if you don't withdraw the application."
When Qi Hui heard this, he suddenly raised his head.
Wei Yong pursed the corners of his lips, and said unhurriedly: "I've already contacted the person in charge of DO."
Qi Hui understood what Wei Yong meant almost as soon as he heard these words...
*
Qi Hui and Wei Yong didn't chat for too long, and after a while, they left the teahouse separately.
The weather outside was a bit dark, and Qi Hui began to rain on the halfway driving back to school.
But he didn't turn around and go home, he went to school anyway.
At this time, in the office, Liu Gan was still sorting out the materials, and school would start in a few days, so he was very busy recently.
Just as he put the stack of documents back into the cabinet, he heard a knock on the door.
Liu Gan raised his head and saw Director Qi standing at the door. He was slightly stunned for a second, but he soon came back to his senses.
"Director Qi." Liu Gan greeted him calmly.
Qi Hui didn't seem to see Liu Qian's attitude, stepped in, glanced at the bookcase next to him, and then retracted casually, "I want to talk to you about something."
